The "Ultimate Workbench" is a dream to have in the shop and after moving into my new shop I have decided to design and build a slightly smaller version better suited for the garage workshop. This Versatile Workbench is an absolute beast. Spanning a respectable 4' x 6' there is plenty of space to utilize as an outfeed table, assembly table, and even a router table!
With all that you've come to expect from an "Ultimate" build this workbench has everything that you could ask for.
- Dust Collection
- Electrical System
- Parts Organizer Bin Storage
- Router Table
- Deep Drawer Storage
I also have a smaller version of this workbench design:
"Shmedium" Workbench [3'x5']

How have the casters held up? More specifically, the 2x4 they are attached to? You attached them to the cross pieces, which makes me think that the entire weight of the table is being held up by the pocket screws attaching the cross pieces. Please correct me if thats not the case. I really like this design, but want to understand that part.
Hahaha, just watched part 2. Guess I'm not the only one wondering. Thanks for clarifying.
MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. czcams.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo
Just wanted to say your plans are absolutely amazing. The amount of detail and thought is 2nd to none. Thanks Travis!
Perfect timing, I’m retiring and the end of the week and my first project is a serious upgrade to my woodworking shop. This maybe one of my first projects.
This looks perfect for the space in my garage. Think I’m going to wait until shop nation builds it out in completion first. That way if there are any hiccups they can be worked out. Can’t wait to see it finished and start mine!!!
Hey Travis you kick ass. Your editing makes watching the videos easy. You’ve done your homework and it enjoyable to watch. Enough of that, I like how you work through the project I think like most of us we don’t want to build it a second tome and settling is what it is but figuring out on paper first is huge and your work shows.
You're presentation is excellent. Clear, concise, and with just enough humor, mostly self deprecating. Keep it up.
This could not have come at a better time. I appreciate all of the time you took to make this video and the plans and look forward to building this very soon!
I believe it must be difficult to find another content producer on youtube, as honest and true as you are. I am not a wood worker or DIYer, but I still watch your videos, because they are so interesting and inspiring ... BRAVO, thanks for sharing.
I watch a bunch of word working videos on CZcams. Yours are at the top of my list of favorites.
I have the same jointer and it has a the best dust collection I’ve ever seen in a tool of that quality level. Mine has gotten clogged from time to time however when operating without suction. Worth a shot
Great job Travis. Can't wait for the other videos. I'm doing a remodel of my shop and as soon as it's done this will be one of my first projects to make. Keep up the excellent work. So many CZcams woodworkers when they get big move away from the everyday projects and just do a bunch of vlogs. BTW, other plans that I've purchased have been spot on and extremely easy to follow for anyone who may consider getting one of your project plans.
I can't wait to build one of these in a couple months when we move to our new place! Great work, Travis.
I actually just picked up this same jointer. It works great. For longer pieces I've seen people make attachments for each side.
Im about to start my assembly/out feed table build and have been considering a few types. This one is definitely on my radar. Thanks.
Getting my garage shop in order, finally, and need an assembly/outfeed table. Was even looking to make somethign in the 48"x72" range. Shop Nation to the rescue!
I made outfeed that is attached to jointer bench. Used unistrut and it all rollers . It’s level solid and I’ve used 12 ft pieces on it with amazing results
When is the second video coming? I’m considering starting this build right away
Great timing! Started thinking about building an upgraded outfeed table for my Sawstop this weekend and it looks like you've done a good bit of the build plan for me. Your's matches my rough drawing pretty much exactly.
I purchased the plans on Sunday and I am planning on starting the build this weekend. Thank you for the detail in those plans.
Last workbench I built was made out of driftwood I found on the beach. The top is 4x8 by 6ft boards. I drilled 1/2 inch holes through 3 of them in 3 different places and the fourth one I threaded with a tap. I used all thread to hold them together and it turned out pretty nice. The frame and sides were 2x6. It looks like it is over a hundred years old.
Nice start to the build! I had to chuckle at your reference to the thickness of the jointed lumber being 3.25... I can always tell when someone has an engineering background. As you know, woodworkers here in the US tend to use fractions (3-1/4). But as a mechanical engineer by trade, I get it.
Awesome looking bench, cant wait for part 2. Ideally jointing should only be done on 1 edge and and 1 face. Doing both edges can create a wedge shape piece of wood since neither side is parallel to the other. Try doing the other edge with the table saw to keep your boards edges parallel to each other.
Incredible that you were able to find mostly straight 2x4s. I would have to go to my home store three different times at six month intervals just to be able to pick and choose ones that are that straight.
I gave up. I now go to the good lumber store pay 60 Cents more for the "premium" grade. But I am simply in a better mood after ... :) Last visit to the orange store I had 12 rejects for every pick at that rate I had rearrange the entire pallet and was PO'ed
I may try 84 Lumber next time I need construction lumber
Love my Ridgid jointer and the dust collection even with a shop vac is pretty good!
I have watched this video multiple times. Even though I want to build a workbench to also house my jobsite saw, I bought your plans anyways. I’m sure there is a lot that I can learn from your build. The plans are absolutely stellar! Top notch work.
Your accuracy and attention to detail are so satisfying
Having just built my own combination saw-table/outfeed/assembly table albeit for my little DeWalt 7491, I think the ideal size for average 2-car garage weekend workshop is around 3x5 feet assuming a discrete table saw. Mine is closer to 3x6 because it also serves as a stand for my job saw.
So excited!!!! great content as always. I will have to agree that longer videos will be great, your content is so precise and informative that just a little longer videos won’t give the “hurry up and post” feel to it.
I actually have an outfeed/assembly table with those exact dimensions on casters in my 2 car garage!! You will not regret the size. I am curious to see how you fit everything into it though, that is where mine falls short! Awesome video, love the channel!
I built mine at 3.5x6' and I love it, I wouldn't have made it bigger or smaller! I have 1/2 of a 2 car garage as my shop, and I built an 1.5x12' bench along the side wall. THAT is a little excessive, but I like being able to stage things there and still have space for other stuff
Found your channel while researching for my next upcoming shop project "the perfect work bench". Love the designs that you have come up with and really thinking things through. I will be sure to be implementing some of the things you have shared and looking forward to seeing this one completed. Thanks again for sharing!
We are moving and I am excited for one reason only; I get to build this for the new garage and replace my current one. Been waiting on these plans. Your bench is excellent!!!
i like where its going and looking forward to seeing it completed
Looking good! I’m wanting to build my first shop workbench so eagerly waiting for more. Thanks!
Waiting part 2. I’m looking to build one but with the table saw built in. This will give me a good baseline.
Great info, fun to watch. I'm going to build this very soon. I've been in the woodworking business for 40 years and I learn something new everyday. Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it but in all the shops I've worked in and owned, wear gloves while using machinery is a no no . . . The glove can catch the blade that's turning and it will pull your hand into the blade. Keep up the great work!!
I bought the plans for the cabinets this weekend and will be buying these plans soon also. Thanks for all you do!
This looks awesome. Practical design with common tools.
Nice work with this workbench. Im in the process of planning out the workbench for my new workshop, and I think I will use your plans for my mobile workbench. Looking forward to seeing how you finish this workbench. Really like your channel, keep up the excellent content!
I like building bottom-up; you get a sturdy base to work from, your casters are on, and once you flip-it...you don't need to again.
Just bought the plans. So professional! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into the design.
Looking good so far! I need to make a new workbench and this is giving me motivation to start. I don't have a ton of space but I like some of the things you've implemented. I really dig the brown paper roll idea so I think I'm going to have to use that when I get around to my bench. Keep up the great work!
Rock on Mr. Nation! Just recently moved and have been looking for a good design. Love what I've seen so far...can't wait for the other installments. Thanks for posting.
I've used those casters on a number of projects. The dial is a little fiddly to use, but they immobilize whatever is on them like no other caster I've used. Even fully locking casters don't compare.
The only thing I've found that's better, but not cheaper, is floor locks.
As a retired design engineer, I love to view videos of other woodworkers' designs of benches, jigs, fixtures, etc. So far, what I've seen of your new bench, the design is both well conceived and easy to duplicate. I'm looking forward to viewing the follow-on videos to see how it all comes together.
I'm thoroughly enjoying your video, you have a natural speaking style that makes the video easy to watch without sacrificing quality of content.
Keep up the good work, Cheers ... Dave
I was right there but the comments about the wheel strength then attatching to a single pocket screwed cross stud not the double glued and screwed legs was kinda giving me shivers... Definetly not going to get close to the rating that way .... Though probably not a real issue for the intended use ... Ah, the MDF will help still like pole barns hanging trusses off bolted in headers instead of on top of posts ... no likey the stress is all on the fasteners not the material
Great video I'm building my own workbench at the minute and you've gave me a few good ideas thanks 👍
That is the perfect size for my garage - Awesome! Looking forward to the rest of the video series as I learn as much from your "oops" moments as I do from your examples.
Your vids are great. Love how you simplify it with the odd humor and you explain yourself well without boring us to death. Can't believe you haven't got more subs. Hopefully the channels working for you. Keep it up. I'm back to watching the rest of your vids. Subscribed.
For better glue up results when laminating boards, consider flattening the board face first (especially when using dimensional lumber).
I like the customary "slap" of the wood at like 6:06. Laughed at that one. Great content as always. Cheers.
Looks great. Looking forward to seeing it done.
Bought these plans last week, however I think I’ll actually buy your smaller ones once they’re ready. Looking great!
Don’t know how you do it but you just continue to make awesome videos that inspire me to get in the shop and get into it.
Man I really like your designs! I would really like to see a table saw and miter saw combo from you. I would definitely pay for the design.
Great video can’t wait to see the final results. Got me on the edge of my seat..👍
Love the Build and I will be buying the plans here soon... 👍🏻
Got my plans and can’t wait to start
Man I’m ready to see part two! Got the plans bought and picking up the lumber package tomorrow! So stoked about this project!
How did it turn out?
Glad you got the jointer but you need to move it to one edge so you can get behind your work piece. This is an awesome table.
Love the start of the new series Travis! Awesome 👌🏻
Glad I haven't had a chance to build mine yet - I think I will go with this one!
Super stoked to see this whole thing. I love all that's happening here. Also, random coincidence, I got that same PC 6" jointer about a month ago because I figured something was better than nothing.
Your comment about the dust collection of the jointer was hilarious. Great video!
You're not kidding. My wife and I were both laughing out loud.
Thanks, I just subscribed saw your series on the last workbench and was planning on borrowing some elements from that in my new workshop ...but I think I'll wait a minute!! Good stuff glad I found your channel.
These next installments are gonna be great. 👌
Looked at your plans...impressive and unbelievably inexpensive...would like to see a variety of storage shed plans of the same quality...keep up with the great ideas...you’re a winner with this meme...congrats!....
I very much like what i see thus far. I will soon be building a bench for my new shop in Florida
I have the same jointer. Works great for my cutting boards.
Bro, what a tease. I guess I’m caught up now. This is the first time I have not been able to see the finished product when I start watching you. I enjoy your videos a ton, and get inspiration for my own little shop. Keep putting out good stuff. Looking forward to seeing the next video.
Travis, thank you for sharing.
good to have you back
I have been waiting for these videos since you moved! I knew you were going to improve upon the "ultimate workbench" !
Awesome work table, just what I was looking for.
I'll have to take a look at those casters. Great build so far. Now to find the next part in the series.
Looks awesome so far, ready for the next video
Looks great. A bit big for my space but I’m excited to see the build.
Diggin the new shop Travis! That workbench is the stuff of dreams! Thanks for some inspiring ideas!
Looks like a super nice workbench coming together. But the Vette is nice!!! I have a 2000 silver one. Love it!!!
I just got done milling the wood for my own workbench using a 6” bench top jointer (craftsman). I actually jointed two sides to 90 and had some full 8’ pieces. So lots of jointing. I found that I occasionally had to stop and unplug the chips inside the jointer. It worked best to use a combination of air hose and shop vac. Just a suggestion moving forward. Maybe one day we both will be lucky enough to have a floor model with full size dust collection.
Awesome video though! Love your channel and you were a huge inspiration in designing and building my own workbench.
Oh, and a secondary thought... I would not be wearing gloves near a rotary cutter like a jointer. Just ask Katz-Moses how far worse his recent accident on the jointer could have been with gloves.
looking forward t0 part 2 and the smaller version plans
Love the bench!! That dust collection is on point for that jointer 😂😂. I'm sure the new bench will handle it nicely though. Love this channel, learn a lot from you Travis, thanks!!
Looks great! Thanks for still putting out great content.
Go Vols!
My first workbench I built was sized for height to accommodate my benchtop tools (router table, drill press, ect), and on castors, since my workshop has to be re tucked in the corner of the garage when not in use. The problem is that it's a bit too short to use comfortably as an assembly table. And I cannot use it at all as an outfeed table. I like your plan, and my next workbench build will be sized to double as an outfeed table.
Awesome work yet again!!!
Awesome design so far. I have to add, I used the same casters on my pool table. The legs were too short, so I got those to raise the height and the screw adjustment made leveling to table a dream
Oh hey, I just moved too. Looking for garage / workshop ideas, perfect timing!
I’m getting started on mine. 40”x72” top.Milled cut and laminated the frame parts. No glue, just screws. 😮
Great Video. I just discovered your channel. This looks like it will fit your needs perfectly. I really like the casters. I have never seen those before. I can't wait to watch the next video in the series and all your other videos.
Looks good so far...
Great video. Looking forward to the next one!
Well done! Good informational video. Thank you.
I have that jointer. It works quite well
Looks very stable table 👍
YES!!!! I've been waiting for this!
Looks like a great one.
I did the opposite. Spent months designing and kept changing plans until I got frustrated and just started building. I also went with MDF top and after a stain, two coats of shellac and 5 coats of poly with trewax carnauba wax, it’s solid and smooth as glass. Looking to see how you ended up coating your top.
Great start to a new workbench! I can't decide to build mine with the table saw inside the bench or build an outfeed table separate. I'm using a jobsite saw with fold out legs right now.
That’s a good looking set up
My workbench that I built in 1997 is 3'X'6 while quite heavy ( it takes 3 men and small boy to move) it's on its 3rd shop real small then fair sized back to median
